“My most recent paintings are representations of the local landscape, in particular, the South Downs and the Sussex coast. My objective is to capture the essence of the landscape or seascape by exploring the effect of light, colour and tonal values thus creating an individual mood or atmosphere to an often similar vista.

To emphasise these moods I like to perpetuate, on canvas, the ephemeral quality of hedgerow flowers and windswept grasses whose brief appearance herald the changing seasons.”
